A Few Cards

Cards?? I know, its a stretch but just had to try my hand at a few more of these babies and then I'll be back to my regular scheduled program - LOL!

All these cards feature the Dazzlers Collection by Petaloo. The birthday line is so totally adorable and versatile for kids and even adults. All the glitter embellishments have self adhesive foam raised backs and the glitter is applied by hand so there is very little shedding when handled or even cut.







TFL - Enjoy your Saturday! Its pouring rain today and we've got soccer - ick! Come on sun!

APRIL 2010

I also wanted to share this little keychain I made the other night using Petaloo's Glittered Papers and Sequins.

I applied it to grungeboard, added some grungeboard swirls (which I inked first) and then added some glossy accents and voila - a monogram keychain!

Here is a layout I made of my darling sweetie! She will be 2 in another month and I cannot believe how much she's changed and grown! She is talking up a storm and holds her own with her older brothers!

As most of you know, my weakness is gorgeous patterned papers. The majority of my layouts are inspired by amazing papers and photos of my kiddos. I simply fell in love with this vintage paper by The Girls' Paperie and HAD to have it. Check out Scrapbook Star's New Arrivals if you want some!

This layout features glitter and bling to the max! I didn't think I'd know what to do when I received my goodies from Petaloo this month. Glitter, glitter EVERYWHERE! EEK! Anyhow, I ended up transforming the product to suit my style and I think it ended up quite fine - LOL! There aren't any 'rules' in scrapbooking and I think that's what I like about it so much - you can do whatever you want and nobody will question it! There's no such thing as a 'mistake'!

For this layout I used the Dazzlers Collection by Petaloo.

Here is a close up of the roses I made from the Glittered Sheets - they are so wonderfully textured that they actually feel like material. The glitter is applied by hand rather than by machine and as a result there is very little lost when you cut or shape the product. I was very impressed by this as I am normally wearing more of the glitter than my project is when I normally work with glittered chipboard, etc.

I also made some butterflies and a trim for the photo with the Glittered Sheets - so versatile. I ended up spraying the lace with my Shimmerz Spritz (Red Barn) and then adding some Dazzlers Sequins where the flowers were. These little babies are perfect for flower centres, edging, making your own swirls, etc. LOVE them!

These flowers are actually the Flora Doodles Blooms (Value Bag in Pink/Black/White/Grey) but were just too cutsie for me. I tend to prefer the 3D type of blooms and these ones were the 7 petal flat ones. Don't get me wrong, they are wonderfully gorgeous flowers, but I needed something more 'vintage' for this layout so I decided to alter them. The tiny blooms are Dazzlers florettes - so sweet!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
